Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to change the handle of the glove compartment of the Citroen C3 MK1 version (also known as FC or FN). We simply remove it by levering, from the inside of the drawer, with a screwdriver, from the side of the cover, then remove the metal closure, always levering with the same screwdriver.

We can find the new handle for example on Amazon with the code B0BT1RLJSF, at the price of 13.52 euros, + delivery costs of 5.99 euros.

Of course, the new handle comes complete with the spring, which we load onto its support and then reassemble it by passing it under the cover: Placing the spring inside its housing is quite complex, it takes a bit of patience. Then we put back the cover we had removed at the beginning, and it's done.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
